"Squatty Potty" Millionaire Charged With Possession Of Child Porn Hoard Robert Edwards, the inventor of the "Squatty Potty" and a contestant on the show "Shark Tank", has been charged with the possession of a digital hoard of child pornography materials including videos and images. Edwards, 50, was arrested for allegedly buying and receiving countless images of child sexual abuse between March 2021 and November 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Utah announced Monday. The entrepreneur was indicted by a federal grand jury Feb. 10 and arrested Feb. 12 in Washington County, Utah. In March 2021, an undercover FBI agent joined a group chat used to trade child abuse materials. In the group chat, there was a meeting room where members viewed a collection of the horrific content being streamed, federal authorities detailed. Participants, including a user later identified as Edwards, were visible in the meeting, according to the DOJ. In May 2025, FBI agents also learned that Edwards may have purchased additional illicit materials through his PayPal account, which was flagged for four suspicious transactions. In November, law enforcement executed a search warrant on Edwards and his home and confiscated multiple devices that “contained videos and images of child sexual abuse material,” some of which was downloaded only two weeks prior, officials alleged. Edwards reportedly lives with his male partner and "co-parents" four children. There is no information on their status, and he refers to them as his "step children". Robert Edwards is best known for his appearance on Shark Tank with his mother, in which he pitched his idea for a foot rest designed to help people with bowel movements. Interestingly, one member of the Shark Tank board was noted as saying there was "something" about Edwards that she did not trust because of his odd and shifty behavior. Her observation might have been more prescient than she realized. Squatty Potty is also known for cutting ties w...

Carlo Prearo/iStock via Getty Images The last time I spoke about Ironwood Pharmaceuticals ( IRWD ), it was with respect to a Seeking Alpha article entitled " Ironwood Pharmaceuticals: Q3 of 2024 Data Readout For PBC ." With respect to this article, I mentioned a huge opportunity that the company had where it had the potential to exercise its option for exclusive access to a drug known as CNP-104 for the treatment of patients with primary biliary cholangitis [PBC]. I had given the stock a "Buy" rating on this potential, along with sales of LINZESS [linaclotide] increasing. Today, I'm downgrading this stock from a "Buy" rating to a "Sell." There are several reasons for doing so at this present time, which I'm about to go over now. The first reason is because the hope was that once Ironwood saw the data of CNP-104 treating patients with PBC, it would like what it saw. Furthermore, it would choose to exercise its option to exclusively license CNP-104 for the treatment of these liver disease patients. Unfortunately, that's not what happened at all. Upon observing the topline data from COUR Pharmaceutical Development Company, Inc. [COUR], Ironwood notified it on September 27, 2024 [ Pipeline Update subsection note under CNP-104 ] that it would not exercise its option to acquire an exclusive license to CNP-104. This pipeline setback is the first reason for the downgrade rating. The second reason is because the hope is that LINZESS sales would continue to increase, but something bad happened with earnings the other day. It was noted that sales decreased by 6% to $864.5 million in 2025 compared to that of 2024, with sales of $916.3 million. It believes that LINZESS had fallen short because of the phasing of gross-to-net rebate reserves and pricing headwinds for Medicare Part D. It is bullish, with a projection of a 30% increase in full-year 2026 LINZESS U.S. sales to be between $1.125 and $1.175 billion. Despite this, it remains to be seen if it can actually execute such an ...

new look casting/iStock via Getty Images I've become "Neutral" on ACV Auctions Inc. ( ACVA ). I'm unexcited by both its performance and outlook. In the fourth quarter last year, its revenue expansion moderated despite delivering above-consensus EBITDA. Looking forward, a top-line increase in the teens for FY2026 is only achievable by re-investing a proportion of its profits. My prior September 29, 2025 write-up highlighted its data-related division's potential for the long haul. EBITDA Beat Was Obscured By Growth Deceleration The firm issued an 8-K filing revealing its recent financials on Monday, Feb 23. ACVA's topline rose 15.1% year-on-year for Oct-Dec '25. That's a step down from the 4Q24 and 3Q25 increases of +34.8% and +16.5%, respectively. I noted in the earlier Sep '25 update that "ACVA is seizing a larger slice of the wholesale auto market thanks to industry consolidation." This thesis is still intact. But its rivals are gaining more ground. The group's 4Q2025 "marketplace units" defined as "the number of vehicles transacted" were a modest 5.5% higher YoY based on its results slides . OPENLANE's ( OPLN ) domestic volumes went up a far superior 20%+ during the same timeframe. ACVA also did better in the past. Its respective unit growth rates in the preceding quarter and FY2024 were +10% and +24%. At the analyst briefing , the enterprise explained, "we were harder on sellers who were giving us overpriced cars." It also emphasized "the hiring and training to really get the national footprint I'd like in place right now." It's reasonable for me to infer that ACV was previously impacted by platform optimization and labor constraints. On the flip side, its EBITDA-to-revenue widened 60bps YoY to 4.2% for 4Q25. This resulted in quarterly EBITDA surpassing the sell-side's forecast by 30%, according to S&P Capital IQ. My view is that ACVA boosted margins with an increased contribution from more profitable businesses and good expense control. The normalized "Operating...

格隆汇2月27日｜国际数据公司（IDC）：移动行业正面临前所未有的危机，这种局面将持续至2027年。

Pla2na/iStock via Getty Images Back in May of 2025, we saw an opportunity to trade Papa John's International, Inc. ( PZZA ) stock. It was the type of short-term to medium-term investment with large upside and less downside risk that we look for just like we do for members at BAD BEAT Invest for our highest conviction ideas. Shares enjoyed nearly 50% upside from that call, and 25% gains were made in just weeks following the call. Here we are in early 2026, and there was rumors of a takeover which took shares higher, only to be refuted . We are in the crosshairs of a GLP-1 world where weight loss has people eating less and being more health conscious. And, shares have more than reset. At $32 and below, we think you can take another shot for a swing trade here. While North American traffic is still so-so, the international expansion is positive. The company is paying a $0.46 quarterly dividend which puts the yield over 5.5% here at $31.25 at the time of this writing. The company just-reported earnings . We think it sets up for a Buy here after this valuation reset. Let us discuss. Key metrics for Papa John's Wen we analyze restaurants, there are several key metrics that we always watch. While top-line revenue for growth and the growth outlook are paramount, we think comparable sales and changes here are critical. We want to see well-controlled expenses and margin expansion, and we look to store-count changes. Despite the massive reset in shares, and data being mixed, we have come down enough to justify another swing trade attempt. Papa John's Q4 earnings beat but revenue misses Sales were down slightly from a year ago, which at first raises a red flag for us. This comes as there were expectations for flat to down growth from analysts. Revenues were $498 million, down 6.2% from a year ago. These revenues were a miss of $19.4 million. The revenue miss though was offset by expense and margins that drove a better-than-expected earnings on a per-share basis. Global system-w...

当地时间2月26日周四晚间，伊朗与美国在瑞士日内瓦举行的两国第三轮间接谈判结束。伊朗方面称取得进展，谈判的斡旋方阿曼称取得重大进展，但在谈判进行期间，美媒的消息称美方对伊方感到失望。 据央视新闻，伊朗外长阿拉格齐在谈判结束后表示，这是最严肃、持续时间最长的一次谈判。谈判取得了良好进展，在某些领域，双方已接近达成共识。双方的技术团队将于3月2日下周一在奥地利维也纳举行技术谈判。 另据央视，阿曼外交大臣巴德尔表示，在美伊双方同各自国家政府进行磋商后，各方将尽快举行下一轮谈判。技术层面的谈判将于下周在维也纳举行。巴德尔通过其社交媒体发文表示，当天日内瓦谈判“取得重大进展”。 巴德尔在社交媒体发布的帖子写道： “今天美伊谈判取得了重大进展。双方将在各自政府进行磋商后很快恢复会谈。技术层面的讨论将于下周在维也纳举行。我感谢所有相关方的努力：谈判代表、国际原子能机构以及东道主瑞士政府。” 美国官方并未对谈判作出任何回应。不过，央视提到，周四稍早谈判仍在进行时，有美方消息传出，称美方谈判代表——美国总统特使威特科夫和特朗普的女婿库什纳对伊朗代表团在周四上午谈判中的表态感到失望。 有中东媒体的报道呼应了上述说法，称在日内瓦当地时间周四上午与伊朗方面会谈后，库什纳和威特科夫对会谈内容感到失望。 核问题分歧仍很大 美方坚持彻底拆除核设施并将浓缩铀转移出境 中东媒体称，威特科夫和库什纳周四在日内瓦与伊朗外长阿拉格齐共举行了两次会晤，双方分歧依然很大，还有更多问题需要讨论。 据报道，此次会谈由阿曼外长巴德尔斡旋，阿拉格齐率领伊朗代表团参加谈判，联合国核监督机构国际原子能机构的总干事格罗西也参与其中，会谈持续了数小时，包括直接和间接交流。 伊朗方面据称在会谈中提出，将铀浓缩活动限制在医疗用途，并承诺在未指明的有限年限内停止核活动。之后，浓缩活动将在受监管的区域框架下恢复。 美方据称则要求达成一项没有时间限制的协议。美方愿意允许在德黑兰的研究反应堆进行低浓度铀浓缩，但坚持要求伊朗彻底拆除其核设施，并将所有浓缩铀转移出境。 中东媒体获悉，威特科夫和库什纳对伊朗方面提出的方案感到失望，这凸显了双方分歧的严重性。 伊朗发言人称“将根据需要继续进行铀浓缩” 有媒体提到，伊朗政府新闻委员会主席Elyas Hazrati驳斥了美媒关于达成协议将让伊朗永久销毁核设施的报道。 Hazrati在社交媒体发帖称，...

Batter will play in Friday’s match against New Zealand Winner of the game will top the group in Super 8s England have not committed to fielding their strongest side in Friday’s do-not-necessarily-have-to-win T20 World Cup encounter with New ­Zealand but Jos Buttler will be given the chance to turn around his ­miserable run of form, with the team’s coaching staff convinced that a return to familiar lofty standards is imminent. After six games at the tournament, Buttler’s top score is 26, against Nepal in England’s opener, and in their past four matches he has contributed three, three, seven and two. It is his worst run in international T20s since he followed 13 in his first ever innings with five successive single-digit scores, between February and September 2012. Continue reading...

⚽ Europa League updates from the 8pm GMT kick-off ⚽ Live scores | Read today’s Football Daily | Mail Daniel There’s something idyllic, cutesy and pure about a football team whose surname is “Forest” – just as there is about the surname “Marinakis”. No one really wants to dwell on owners – frankly, they’re the opposite of why we’re here. But it’s impossible to talk about Forest without noting that, after they recorded the club’s finest season in generations, the manager who made it possible was binned, likewise his successor, and his successor.
